Summary
These datasets were created as part of a project to map landslides and other mass movements throughout Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The project aims to address the potential hazards and geomorphic consequences of historic high water levels in Lake Michigan, due to active wave erosion affecting beaches, slopes, and dunes; and coastal inundation. The scale and accuracy of these datasets enable their use for local-scale analysis of dune movement, large mass movements, and terrain change due to anthropogenic activities.
